Jenna Ortega’s reported exit from “Scream VII” comes just hours after her co-star Melissa Barrera was fired from the upcoming film.
Her decision caused several fans to scream.
Jenna Ortega has reportedly dropped out of “Scream VII,” according to Deadline.
The star’s decision to exit the horror film is due to scheduling conflicts with Netflix’s “Wednesday” — and not related to the firing of Melissa Barrera, who played Ortega’s older sister in the franchise.
The outlet claimed that Ortega, 21, decided to bow out prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike, which prohibited actors from promoting their upcoming films or discussing any future projects.
Ortega is currently slated to appear in the upcoming sequel to the 1988 dark comedy “Beetlejuice” as well as reprising her role as the sociopathic Wednesday Addams for a second season.
The Post reached out to Ortega for additional comment.
The news comes after Barrera, 33, was fired by Spyglass Entertainment after she posted several Instagram Stories about the Israel-Hamas conflict.
